Chapter 10:

He turned around to Haku who wore her school uniform once again, short blue skirt with matching jacket and the red tie. "A movie?" he said.

She nodded, the tickets in her hand. "My friend and I wanted to go and see this movie," she explained,"We paid for it and all, but all of the sudden she canceled on the last minute so I thought of taking you. Is that alright?" Len closed his locker, about to speak until Haku turned her back to him, her head slightly facing him. "But wait," she added,"You have to study even though you have no classes. What a bummer, Senpai."

That was all true. Suddenly Len changed his mind, he was going to turn down her, but then thought it was Haku. "Its fine," he said. "Its just t-that-its only the two of us. Its not weird for me since I've went on dates before, but are you sure you want to-"

Haku grabbed Len's hand before he finished. "Its fine!" she smiled, handing him the ticket. "At eleven in front of the movie theater," said Haku, closing the door before Len could even speak.

"Yeah," he said, still hearing Haku's footsteps then disappeared. "Sure." After work ended, Len ran all the way home. Once he arrived her entered his apartment seeing Rin on the floor reading her new book. She looked up welcoming her master back home. He gave her smile while setting his backpack on the floor. "Hey there," he passed her and started to grab a new fresh shirt for the date. "Fun reading your book?" Len said. He was already taking off his shirt and slid into the new one. Rin stared at his toned body then nodded. "That's good to hear, Rin. But got to run. Got this date with a girl at work." He tossed the dirty shirt to the corner of the room, grabbing a comb. As he fixed his blond hair Len grabbed a worn orange jacket and began to head for the door.

Rin crawled towards him. "Len," she said, looking up towards him. "Looks happy."

"Hmm?" he turned. "You could see it?"

She nodded and said,"Classes make Len happy?"

"Not that," he said, smiling. "Plus I have no classes today, Rin. You see and I know I said going out, but I'm going out with a girl from work," he scratched his head. "A date, you know?"

Rin looked at her master with her blank eyes. "Rin doesn't understand 'date'".

"Let's see. Two people who are attractive to each other," Len explained. Its funny, he thought he wasn't actually attracted to Haku. "And get together and do stuff."

"Attracted?"

"Means to like someone," replied Len with a smile. He got up with excitement while Rin sat there trying to process the meaning of the new word she learned. "Got to go. See you, Rin."

"So," spoke Rin. Len, who was about to close the door, looked back. "Len likes this girl."

Len stuffed one hand in the pocket of his jacket. He didn't make contact with Rin while he spoke. "I wouldn't say the word like. She's just this cool girl." He closed the door after he said his last goodbye to his persocom.

"Take care of yourself," she said.

Len ran out of the building and into the main court yard passing Ms. Manager again. "Mr. Kagamine," she called after him.

"Hey." He said in a hurry.

"Got plans, right? So that means Rin is staying home alone, again?"

Len nodded. "Yup. See you."

She smiled. "Take care then."

Back in Len's apartment, Rin began again to recite the words off of her new book. She sat on the floor, book in her lap, and read the words surrounding the bunny-like character of the book. "I begin my search again for the one who is only for me," said Rin. "The person who will love me because I am who I am," she shifted as she looked at the character holding a star close to its heart. Other stars, shooting stars, encloses on it as it's eyes are closed. "The person who will still love me even I cannot grant his dreams," she looked up from the pages of the book when a faint voice talked to Rin. "There must be someone out there that I could fall in love with."

With his eyes closed, Len leaned against the clock tower, hands in his pockets. His headphones hung by his neck, music to low be heard by others walking pass him. He was nodding to the beats of the song until Haku ran up to him panting as she stopped in front of him. He opened his eyes.

"Sorry I'm late, Senpai," she huffed.

He smiled at her,"Actually," he said, tilting his head upwards towards the clock tower,"Your right on time. Plus I was early."

Haku stared at the clock and he was right. She tapped the glass on her watch,"This thing. Wonder how it got faster."

"All that running for nothing," said Len, he paused his song.

Haku leaned on the brick wall by him to catch her breath. "Hey, at least I didn't have you wait too long, right?" she said with a smile.

Haven't had a date with such a cute girl in long time, thought Len. Keep your cool.

But.. what if that person doesn't love me? What if the person falls in love with someone other than me? A person's heart cannot to be copied or erased like it. That's why its hard to change what a person has chosen.

I know.

A person's heart may be easy to change, but some cannot be changed at all. Feelings of love is especially hard to change. So what would you do?

Then I would have to decide. Decide and act upon it.

She flipped to the next page. "I will," she said,"With the other me." She stared blankly into the page. It wasn't before long Rin started to hear a buzzing noise in her head. She slid the glass door to the side, the door that lead to the balcony. Cupping her ears, she focused on that one pleasant noise. "Rin is hearing it again," she said to the wind,"It is calling for Rin." Without a second thought, she leaped from the railing and onto the storage roof. From there Rin hopped onto a nearby pole that towered over the apartment. The persocom could see most of the town and some of the buildings from the city. But the noise kept her occupied, then it started to talk. "Who is this?"

Close your eyes. I'll send you a vision.

She closed her eyes, and Rin is in the book. The dark blue skies, the stars. No floors to stand on, only air to stand on. She saw a figure in a wall mirror, she walked towards it, towards the voice. "Is it you that was calling to me?"

Yes. I am the one calling for you.

The person in the mirror wore a black lacy dress. "Why are you calling to me? Why do you have the same face as Rin?"

Rin is right, the person in the glass looked exactly like her. The blond short hair, the eyes, the ears.

Because I am you.

Once Rin reached to touch the girl's hand, it touched her and pulled herself out. "Rin doesn't understand."

Her look alike touched Rin's cheek. You lost all your data? Didn't you? she held her hand there for a long time as they spoke. Who is at your side right now? Rin answered her master's name simply, along with how he found her on a pile of trash bags. The girl that looked like Rin tilted her head to the side once she heard the word 'Rin'. She laughed a soft one as she spoke, Rin? Is that your new name? the girl pulled her hand away, frowning.

"Rin is Rin's name," replied Rin. "Len gave Rin that name."

Is Len the one for me?

The one for me?

The one who will love me and only me.

I don't know. Rin only knows things Len taught her after Len woke her up.

I see. Then its true, so you have forgotten everything. But-the girl that looked like Rin held Rin in her arms, hugging her look alike-I still remember about us. About what we will decide. Rin, she pulled away slightly so that they were face to face, we are now connected once again. From now on, from what you see, do or know, everything will come to me. She started to float onto the air, weightless as she appeared in front of Rin. We are together, before she disagreed she rested her lips upon Rin's. I'll see you soon, Rin.

A slight breeze hit Rin, the world she was once in had been blown away and soon she was back in the real world. The skies are still bright blue, sun is still up. Rin is still standing on the pole, wondering what has just happen. Who was she? But for some reason, something in her had just awakened.

After the movie was over, Len and Haku headed for a little picnic by the park. The park is huge, it was built around a lake. Boats were seen floating by and ducks as Len looked about as Haku found the two of them a spot on the hill where they could eat, and have a view of the sparkling lake. While Haku took out a bento out of her backpack, Len questioned her. "I thought we were just going to watch a movie?" he said sitting down next to her. She lifted the lid off the bento and picked up one of the finger sandwiches she made.

Without another word, Haku grinned then she plunged the sandwich in Len's mouth,"Just eat," she said. She took out two water bottles out of her bag next when Len finished the first sandwich. "Well?"

"Its delicious," responded Len. He swallowed the last chunks then reached for seconds. Haku laughed before grabbing her own munchies.

She treats me to the movies, made me a homemade lunch, and in the park, too? How lucky am I? Very. Len's attention went from the date to a man with his persocom. His attention was noticeable to Haku, she followed his glance.

"Your persocom," she said. Len, then now, looked at her. "Her name is Rin, correct?" he nodded. "You worried about her. Why is that?"

"Now that you bring it up I am a little worried about her. I mean she can't do much on her own, yet," replied Len.

Haku stared at the lake in front of them. It sparkled when she spoke,"But she's cute, right?"

Len became unsure with his answer. He hesitated,"Um, sure, I guess."

Haku smiled to herself, a half smile, she pressed her knees against her chest making her curling up to a loose ball. "I guess I'm a bit jealous," she admitted. Len looked at her. "Its just persocoms are just made cute. I wonder if you're really going for persocoms instead of people."

"Going for perso––but there computers. But of course they're incredibly cute and all, but––"

She interrupted, anxiously. "But what?" when the question came out she directly locked her eyes on the boats floating on the lake.

He bit a piece off of his sandwich, not noticing Haku's anxiety, and said,"Humans are entirely different."

"Really," she said with a smile. "I mean, you think so?" he nodded, then she added," Um, sorry if sounded strange. Talking about persocoms and humans and all that stuff." She stood up, her eyes fixed on Len. "Let's go on a boat to make up for this. I'll pay."

Len had enough of Haku's generosity, and stood up with her. "No. I'll pay," he said. "Its the least I could do. Okay?" Then he smiled at her. She gave up and nodded as they made way for the rental boats.

The two got on the boat after Len paid for two tickets. He climbed in first, just to help Haku in. He held out for her hand, and she took it with delight. Once they were ready, Len paddled off onto the lake. Len took the boat to the middle of the lake. Haku asked if he was tired from rowing the boat or if he wanted to take a break or switch, but he refused.

He looked at Haku, but then something caught his eye passed her shoulders. He said in a low tone. "Is that Luki?" he said. A confused face on Haku, she turned her head, but that was when Len tilted his head too far off the edge of the boat and.. fell into the cold water.

Haku steadied the boat. Then she joked,"At least the water is shallow."

On land, Len defiantly got Luki's attention. He was out with his main persocom. Haku helped him on the bench. Len took of his shoes and socks. He was wet from waist down.

"I'll go and buy you some new socks and shoes," said Haku. Right when Len tried to stop her she was already skipping away.

"H-H-Haku," said Len weakly.

Luki looked up to his persocom who spoke. "I could accompany her and invite her to the near and appropriate store, Master Luki," said Gakuko.

Luki, with his eyeglasses parched on the bridge of his nose, said,"You do that." Once his persocom walked off after Haku, Luki asked Len. "That girl, she's human."

"Huh? Haku?" said Len. "Of course. Why's that?"

"I'm glad," he said. This took Len by surprised and was about to ask him, but Luki already knew the answer to that. "I ask because you have an adorable persocom, and thought that maybe you would prefer her over actual humans."

Len laughed a short, soft laugh before replying. "Even Luki thinks that."

"Even I think that?"

"Haku said the exact same thing."

"And how did you respond to that?"

Len paused, thinking of what he said. "Oh, that humans are different."

"That's," said Luki. "Is correct. Humans are different than to persocoms." The man looked dazed as if he just found out that persocoms were just computers.

"No need to carry on the conversation," said Len. He tried to talk in the way Luki was talking to him, all smart and fancy-like. "Come to think of it, Luki. You seem to treat Gakuko more human than your other computers."

Luki broke from his trance and looked up at the sky. "Mr. Kagamine. People refer to you as a nice guy." Len shook his head with pride in his eyes. "But then you end up as the guy they like," Luki said. Len started to blush at the kind words. "But not as a boyfriend," added Luki. Len pouted( ;~; ). Luki paused, looking back to the lake. "But Gakuko is a persocom I made to resemble my older sister. Who died from an illness two years ago." Luki said this in a monotone voice. Len had no idea, now, he regrets bringing up Gakuko. He stared at Luki. The man continued on. "Not just the appearance. I also added some of her personality and other features I could remember of her," he said. "Including what she hated, and what she loved. Every single detail. So perfect." He was in his creepy trance once again.

Len didn't know how to act to this. "L-Luki."

"But," Luki said. "Its only a program because I am the one who made her, but at times, I just want to forget all of that. All of those things that makes Gakuko only a persocom. A mere computer."

Thinking about it over and over again, Len asked his question. "So when I first met you, you told me not to fall in love with a persocom," he said. Len was catching on.

Luki finished it,"Yes. I gave you that advice from my own experience." Again, the trance he was in, broke. Luki turned to Len. "You get the point, right?"

Len nodded then said,"Sorry about that. I never knew what to say during a conversation like this."

"Well," said Luki, setting his hand on Len's shoulder. "That's because your a nice guy. By the way, I wish all your best to losing your virginity, Mr. Kagamine." He said this with a smile and in a sweet tone that Len didn't understand the statement.

He was too relived that Luki wasn't mad at him for making him tell the story about his persocom slash sister. "Hey! How did you find out about that?"

Pulling his hand back to his side, Luki answered honestly. "Mr. Shion emailed me last night in a bold-sixteen font size."

Len's eye twitched, then he flung his hands in the air and was yelling,"What the-? That little piss!"

(And finally..)

It was the end of Haku and Len's date. The sun started to set, and the park started to clear out. Len waved to Luki and Gakuko who started to leave at that moment. "See you," he said. While thinking about what Luki had said before, about his sister and why Gakuko was created, he caught himself staring at Gakuko. Haku seemed to noticed, too. She vanished once Len turned to his side to see her not there, only the coffee can she held and was drinking. "Haku?"

She's gone? Odd.

It wasn't before dark Len reached his apartment. He unlocked the door then closed it behind him, then when he faced the room Rin leaped onto him dragging the both of them onto the floor. It was then when Len noticed the radiance around Rin's smile. She's beautiful.
